Winter Adventures

Self-Powered Trail Adventures

Clear crisp air, groomed and track-set winter trails and spectacular old-growth forests provide a sublime setting for activities of a self-propelled nature. Pick up the Winter Trail Map before you go or use the Trailforks App. For guided hiking and backcountry touring, contact Mountain Addicts or Hike Fernie.
Nordic skiing.
Cross-country skiing has become as much a part of the community culture in Fernie as alpine skiing.
Over 42km of groomed, track-set trails keep cross-country skiers of all abilities active with magical mountain views to enjoy along the way. For grooming updates visit fernienordic. com / grooming.
The Fernie Nordic Society operates two separate areas each for cross-country skiing only. The Elk Valley Nordic Centre near Mt Fernie Provincial Park features a groomed and track-set loop alongside Lizard Creek which undulates through the forest for
34 gentle challenges and beautiful views ideal for intermediate level skiers. Gentle beginnerfriendly loops at Fernie Golf Club offer spectacular big mountain views.
Multi-use trails at Fernie Alpine Resort and Montane are ideal for mixed use and wellbehaved pets. Montane also offers a number of ski-only trails and a warming hut with views across the valley. The Town Loop from Fernie RV Resort to James White Park is groomed regularly and popular with all users.
